The Ascension Church was built in 1724 on the spot where the Monastery of the Ascension used to stand in twelfth century. It has situated on the south-eastern edge of old town. The original building was considerably altered by later additions, including the bell tower.
Like the Church of Saint Nicholas at the Galleys, and the Church of the Assumption, this Church also shows clear evidence of architectural styles prevalent in the seventeenth century, particularly in the kokoshniks which crowned the walls and the richly carved window surrounds.
